A local organization is sounding the alarm over an issue that is affecting an increasing number of young people. As reported by WXXI's Noelle Evans, a new report from Common Ground Health shows that in 2023, self-harm was the leading behavioral reason that young people ages 6 to 21 in Monroe County visited the emergency room. How can families, caregivers, and schools help support students' mental and emotional well-being? Our guests share their expertise. In studio:

  • Noelle E.C. Evans, education reporter/producer for WXXI News
  • Elizabeth Devaney, director of the Whole Child Connection at the Children’s Institute
  • Joseph D. Fantigrossi, Ed.D., director of the Community Schools Coalition of Monroe County, and coordinator of regional community schools at Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES
  • Holly Sienkiewicz, DrPH, director of research at Common Ground Health
  • Calvin Holloway, assistant coordinator for Youth Voice One Vision: The Mayor's Advisory Council and youth mental health advocate
